ARROW WAS PART OF NATIONAL, REGIONAL AND GLOBAL ADVOCACY SPACES FROM JANUARY TO DECEMBER IN 2024. IN EVERY SPACE ARROW MADE STATEMENTS AND INTERVENTIONS AS WELL AS PROVIDED TECHNICAL SUPPORT TO OUR PARTNERS TO BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE AS WELL. THROUGH THE EVIDENCE BASED ADVOCACY YEAR-ROUND ARROW ENSURED THAT SRHR WAS ON THE AGENDA IN EACH OF THESE SPACES.
